The SEC Championship is still likely a bridge too far, but technically, it's on the table. A double bye though? That's in play. Trent Pierce was great, Shawn Phillips was clutch, T.O. Barrett controlled the game, and Mark Mitchell became the distributor. That the was the most FUN game of the year. It had everything: banked 3s, full-court pressure, FRANK HAITH. If Dennis Gates makes a third tournam...

McDonald's All-Americans don't come along Mizzou nor the state of Missouri often. But TWO? By the way, Norm Stewart absolutely nailed his McDonald's guys when he got a chance. Plus, I hate to say it, but I don't like the Tigers' bubble chances as much as the prognosticators. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official. Join the Lo...

If Austin Simmons and Chip Lindsey can elevate the passing game, the rest is a lot less important. Outside of quarterback, who is the most pivotal portal player? Coaches should be less rigid, and the "analytics" formulas need a change. There is one neutral site NFL postseason game, but potentially THREE per team in college football? That is unsustainable.  *** Everydayer Club   If y...

A much-needed victory for the Tigers, on the back of good foul shooting to boot. Re: Robinson, Dennis Gates has a PIVOTAL portal class coming this offseason, but overhauling the entire roster is not the answer. Obviously, best wishes out to Annor Boateng. The Big Ten has won the past three football national titles, and it also has a functional streaming partner, unlike SEC/ESPN. You'd think Disney...

Dabo Swinney calls out Ole Miss and Pete Golding for tampering. How this impacts the SEC, Ole Miss, and the rest of college football. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Let's take a deep dive into Simmons' start against Kentucky this year, including his two first-quarter interceptions. Chip Lindsey & Eli Drinkwitz should steal one play that Simmons is already comfortable with. What is my biggest concern after breaking down the film? *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official. Join the Locked&nbs...

SEC vs. Big Ten? Frankly, who cares? What's bad for Alabama football, for example, is good for Mizzou football. Speaking of the Tide, that was a ROUGH basketball game. Will the Tigers be better, worse, or the same this fall? Let's take stock of the rest of the conference too. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Bobby Washington is another Miami addition for the Tigers. Yes, Missouri basketball saved its season. Mizzou Arena is such a better experience than TV. Field position matters a lot, but punting isn't that big of a deal these days. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official. Join the Locked On Everydayer Club and ge...

Trent Pierce and Mark Mitchell hit incredible shots when the Tigers HAD to have them. T.O. Barrett made his first start and had perhaps his best game. It might be time to remove Sebastian Mack from the dog house. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Bryant is one of many defensive linemen Missouri is hoping can make a leap forward. Nothing official on Cayden Lee, but I expect something soon. Damon Wilson is heading to Miami. Austin Simmons bringing up Chip Lindsey without prompting was telling. Plus, I like Mizzou basketball to win a snow game against Oklahoma tomorrow. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode,&n...

The crew analyzes the impact of coaching hires like Pete Golding and John Sumrall, t...

Austin Simmons gets one of his best friends and targets (Cayden Lee) in Columbia. With some good outside options, Lee fits in the slot. Let's recap Mizzou's portal moves on the offensive and defensive sides. Anthony Robinson should NOT abandon the midrange game. The absurd Charles Bediako situation COULD affect Missouri.  *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode,&nbsp...

Will Ole Miss wide receiver Cayden Lee be next? Maybe not with Lane Kiffin throwing his honeypot in the ring, but Austin Simmons definitely wants his friend in Columbia. Where will Mizzou finish in 2026? Guesses are all over the place. Plus, another atrocious offensive start dooms Missouri basketball against Georgia. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s...

John Miller sits down with Austin Simmons to explore his decision to join Missouri, his pro-style strengths, and his vision for the upcoming season. The conversation highlights Simmons’ relationships with Chip Lindsey, his leadership qualities, and a glimpse into his life off the field. Plus, thoughts on new offensive lineman Zack Owens and more on Mizzou basketball's tradeoffs. *** Everydayer&nbs...

Cayden Lee and Chris Graves Jr. are two more Ole Miss options. Zack Owens would be a massive addition. If Missouri can't beat LSU, it's hard to count on any road wins in the SEC. The Tigers are better defensively and worse offensively; has the tradeoff been worth it? *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official. Join the Locked&nbs...

If Missouri gets quarterback right, the rest might not matter. However, the 2026 portal class certainly has fewer "sure things" than 2025. Kenric Lanier II, Vaaimalae Fonoti, Colin Sorensen, and Mark Shenouda are more potential than production. Believe me, if Damon Wilson were a first-round NFL Draft pick, he'd be in the Draft. Are the Desir twins worth it? Plus, Dennis Gates and Mizzou basketball...

SEC chaos reigns as Portal Madness resets the conference quarterback landscape. Which SEC squad lands the crucial transfers, and can Ole Miss secure Trinidad Chambliss after a high-stakes, last-second playoff exit? The transfer portal’s big-money battles shake up rosters, with Sam Leavitt landing at LSU and Cam Coleman taking his talents to Texas. Expert hosts dissect dramatic coaching moves, bold...

Elijah Dotson is another Michigan man coming to Mizzou. Sione Laulea is Missouri's second Oregon cornerback addition. Mandrell and Darryll could be options for the Tigers. As Mizzou fans, what do we make of Damon Wilson? Jayden Stone is playing like an All-SEC guy. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official. Join the Locked ...

Missouri Tigers continue to reshape their football and basketball rosters, adding impact players from the transfer portal and capitalizing on key SEC connections. Austin Simmons remains the presumptive starting quarterback despite the addition of Nick Evers from UConn, while former Auburn standouts Robert Woodyard Jr., Horatio Fields, and Kensley Louidor-Faustin reinforce Mizzou’s defense and rece...

Naeshaun Montgomery, Donta Simpson, and Jaden Jones are Mizzou football's latest additions. Transfer portal rankings are stupid AND somewhat predictive. Shawn Phillips is a bit of a conundrum for Dennis Gates and Tiger hoops. *** Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
